Why would there be water in a basement?
Water can enter a basement by leaking out of water supply lines, either the hot or cold lines, or the supply line. Water can also enter a basement from leaking drain plumbing. Water can also seep into the basement through the walls or the floor, too. A number of water sources from outside could cause this. If a wall is cracked, rains could provide the water that might leak in. So could watering plants outside (because of your own watering, or perhaps a close neighbor's). It is possible that the water table is very near the surface in the location where the house is, and water from there could leak in. Water entering a basement only has a few ways to get in, and either it leaks from plumbing, or it enters when water is present outside along the foundation, or when water rises in the water table and finds a fault in the integrity of the basement walls or floor.
